Our opinions about the Authors we love to read

I have a couple of Lori Foster's books but this series is fairly new and I love it. I don't know much about sports especially Supreme Battle Challenge (SBC) Fighters, which I didn't a clue about what that sport is about and I still don't know much about them. When I read the first book in this series I at least started to get what SBC Fighters do and in this fourth and upcoming book in the series things take are very 180 turn from what the first 3 books were like. This is an Advance Readers Copy of Lori Foster's upcoming February 2009 release which I have had the honor of reading and reviewing for her. We met Michael "Mallet" Manchester in the second novel Simon Says and he was also a bit in the third novel Hard to Handle, so we know a bit about Michael but in this novel we get to know him a whole lot better.

In this novel there is a very big twist that will surprise you and take you to a whole different place than the first three novels. It was such a pleasure reading this novel because it was so different and took me to a whole new place that really gave me a thrill with each passing chapter in the novel. Michael is such a strong wonderful character that like the other previous heroes in the SBC Fighters series is a man who respects women of all types and is a fighter to the core without being a egocentric jerk about being a strong and good fighter. He right leg is so severely damaged from a car accident that the doctors tell him he'll need extensive physical therapy just to walk and so fighting professionally again is out of the question and his career, which has been his life, is over. Then this mysterious woman Kayli Raine appears in his hospital room out of thin air and she's a tougher woman than Michael is use to, but he's immediately captivated by her. What he doesn't expect is for her to offer him a second chance at becoming whole and even though Michael things it's the drugs talking, he accepts her challenge that brings in to the different place that I have mentioned.

I don't want to spoil this new and wonderful place that Lori Foster has created because it is something I can't really describe fully without ruining the whole novel for you. I will say that it a place that gives Michael the chance to become a whole man again and also gives him the love that his SBC fighting friends have and which he didn't think he was looking for until he met Kayli. Kayli is a strong fighter herself and that is something that is new for Michael but it's what he has been waiting for his entire life. I'm so glad that I got the chance to read an ARC of this amazing novel, My Man, Michael, and I will be buying the book when it comes out in February 2009 because that is one hot cover that will motivate me to read the novel over and over again in the future. The only thing that got me a bit frustrated is that when I finally got to the last page it got wondering whether we've seen the last of this amazing place that Michael has found or if Lori Foster will take us on another trip sometime soon with her future SBC Fighters series. Now that is something to think and consider about while we waiting for the future novels in the series to be announced. Here is the description of the book from the back cover and picture:

MY MAN, MICHAEL by Lori Foster $ 7.99 (Book 4)(325 Pages)

Fighter Michael “Mallet” Manchester is on the verge of being an SBC fighting champion. But before he can step into the cage for a shot at the title, a car accident destroys his dream. His right leg is so severely damaged that the doctors tell him he’ll need extensive physical therapy just to walk. Fighting is out of the question. His career has been his life, and now that life is over.

Then Kayli Raine appears. She’s a tougher woman than Mallet is used to, but he’s immediately captivated by her. What he doesn’t expect is for her to offer him a second chance at becoming whole. And even though Mallet thinks it’s the drugs talking, he accepts her challenge…

About Me

Phoebe Jordan

I'm a part-time aspiring romance novelist, book reviewer and blogger. I've
always wanted to travel the world and learn everything I can about other
countries. Learning the Italian language is one way of trying to make that dream
come true. Traveling will help me with my writing because I'll be learning about
the history of the U.S., Latin America, England, Italy, and Ireland, the
countries I find so fascinating while reading the romance genre.

I read and review romance novels of almost every subgenre along with erotic
romance, mystery, sci-fi/fantasy and young adult novels. You can find the
reviews at my blogs, Talk About My Favorite Authors and Phoebe Jordan's
Reviews. I’ve also started a live podcast show called TAMFA | Phoebe
Jordan hosted on Blog Talk Radio. This show is dedicated to everything I
love about romance and young adult novels. I love having romance and young adult
authors live on my show to be interviewed and showcase their books.

I plan to write contemporary romance, romantic suspense, erotic romance,
paranormal romance and young adult when I get my writing career started with
help from Keta. I'm not sure what genre I'll write to begin with since I love to
read so many different romance genres.
